Welcome to the Guardian Chronicle Magazine Website.  My name is Ralph E. Smith.  It brings me great joy to welcome you to the Guardian Chronicle.  The Chronicle is a fresh view on news, events, and information about New York City because of it's daily updates. 

As a writer, photographer, and former public relations director for various publications and organizations; I was always looking for methods to reach more people and give the community of New York City and organizations a tool to express their ideas.  I also wanted to develop a creative outlet for the men and women who serve this great City of New York.

To the New York City Correction Officers:  The Guardian Chronicle has love and respect for the men and women in Blue and the great service  provided each day to the City of New York!  As Mr. Norman Seabrook- COBA President says, "Correction Officers Patrol the Toughest Streets" The Guardian Chronicle respects New York City Correction Officers who have diverse backgrounds, talent, skills, and commitment to work with their communities and youth. 

To the New York City Police Officers:  The Guardian Chronicle respects the professional job you do each day. 50,000 heroes.  Each day, there are so many members of service who make New York City safe!  Thanks for great job.

NYC Fire Fighters:  You do everyday what most will never do!  Each day at the sound of the alarm; you run towards the fire, heat, and danger to save lives!  Each week, the Guardian Chronicle will highlight the great job that all members of  service do for the City of New York.

Mission Statement:  To build bridges between various Law Enforcement Associations, and the communities they serve by providing an outlet for information, jobs, services, and youth.  The Guardian Chronicle will always work to paint a positive picture of the community and youth by highlighting the strength of the community, youth and the men and women who protect and serve their communities each day as Civil Servants.

Photos from Past and Present!

The Guardian Chronicle will feature photos both past and present of various organizations, and events.  The Guardian Chronicle has a vast collection of photos from yearly marches such as the African American Day Parade, One Million Black Men Go to Washington D.C, and various community events!  Stay tuned into these life changing photos!  The Guardian Chronicle- Recording and saving historical moments in African American history.
